About Paula...

I'm Paula and I have 2 teenage sons. They are both autistic so I haven't been able to work for several years. Previously I worked in accounting, then did a computing degree. I am well travelled as I used to work for travel wholesalers/tour operators. I think I had been to 30 countries by the time I was 30 years old. I haven't been able to travel much for years, though this is just starting to change as my younger son is now happier to travel with me.

Though English, I lived in Adelaide for 2 years as a child, followed by 24 years in Auckland. (I miss the old place and my NZ postcard collection is looking jaded!) I have been back in England since 1995.

Things I don't really like:
* ad cards (unless they relate to the above)
* art/drawing/painting/illustration cards
* hand made cards (sadly they don't make it through the stamp removal process) and I'm not all that keen on washi tape etc
* flowery, feminine, girly cards
* spiders, snakes, crocodiles/alligators (YUK!)
* cards that are old and brown or from decades ago
* photographs being mailed as postcards

I am ATHEIST

If possible, please also avoid using self-adhesive stamps, as they often don't survive the removal process either. Those which you have to lick are much better. Thank you.

Either single or multi-view (up to 9 pics) is fine.

To put in an envelope or not:
I prefer in an envelope but only if it isn't going to cost you more. If you do use an envelope, either writing on the card or on paper is fine.
